I love this post because our books are central to our home; I always look out for bookshelves in other houses - and I'm often disappointed! Why don't more people keep books?Teaching my gang to read has been one of my biggest joys as a mother!Thank you for these great pictures.Sharon

Beautiful images. I still swoon over that Michael Smith library.I'm proud to say that not only did I teach my daughter how to read, I helped her learn to enjoy reading. A big plus when you get to college and have more homework than you ever imagined but still want to find time for your own book list. Like those old after-school commercials used to say, reading really should be "FUNdamental".

I love Ms. Smart's idea of her library in her bedroom!!!! I just might do that! Thanks! I also taught my children to read, and they read at an early age. It is such fun to see them when they finally recognize WORDS!!! I am an avid reader, and so is my son. My daughter: not so much:):) Loved these pics!
